The Assyrian New Year, known as Kha b-Nisan, is celebrated worldwide on April 1. This festival has its roots in the ancient Mesopotamian spring festival called Akitu and is linked to Nowruz, a festival with Iranian origins. The holiday marks the beginning of the year in the Assyrian calendar, which was established in the 1950s and begins in 4750 BC. Assyrians commemorate this occasion with various festivities, including parades, parties, and traditional dances, often dressed in cultural attire. In some Assyrian villages, girls gather herbs and flowers to create bunches known as “Deqna d-Nisan,” which are hung for good luck. The celebration serves as a vital cultural touchstone for Assyrians, uniting them across the globe despite their stateless status.
